Hi. I live in Walworth but will be working in East Dulwich from September. I'm open to a childminder or nursery for my 2 year old daughter in Walworth, East Dulwich or en route in Camberwell. Does anyone have any recommendations? As I said i be starting work in September so it can't be anywhere with a long waiting list.

I quite liked the look of Magic Roundabout Kennington (really Walworth), does anyone have any recent experience of it?

Thanks.

You could have a look at Sunshine Fruits which is a new Montessori nursery which has opened recently in Camberwell (so it may have spaces available?): http://sunshinefruits.co.uk

It's located just off Peckham Road next to the old Southwark Town Hall. The rooms are lovely and bright and all the equipment and toys are brand new. Main issue is limited outside space as they only have shared access to a courtyard. Our daughter is due to start there in Jan 2018 when I go back to work from parental leave.

I would strongly recommend We Care Childcare (just off the Camberwell New Road near the Co-op). It's a bilingual Spanish-English nursery. There's not much outdoor space (but they do use it very creatively) but the really important factor is the warm, loving atmosphere and the caring staff. The food is cooked daily onsite by the Spanish manager and is amazing - Brazilian feijoada and raspberry sorbet for lunch anyone? It's not too expensive either. Both my sons went there and I have very fond memories of their time there. They left with a near-native understanding of Spanish.

I would really recommend 1st place nursery - they have three in the area and our child is at the one in Burgess park. The staff and setting are lovely and when you're in the garden you'd have no idea you're in such a busy spot. We were amazed to find such a great nursery without having to spend a year on a waiting list.

Thanks for the responses.

Unfortunately there's no space at 1st Place but I agree, the outdoor space is great. I'll have a look at the other two, thanks very much for the suggestions, I hadn't come across those two.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
